i keep 2 hives here north of atlanta. 1 day my 3 yr old granddaughter was
sstung 5 times.
#1 above eye next to bridge of nose
#2 center below eye
#3 center of jaw bone below cheek
#4 ear lobe
#5 web between ring and middle fingers
all on same side of body
in next 20 minutes stings swelled slightly
nothing serious
swelling went down after about 1 hr
5 days later the # 2, #3 & #5 turned red and swelled back up. dr said it was
an allergic reaction, gave her steroid cream & said to take her to a
speciallist. by that night she was fine. best i can figure part of the
stinger was left under skin and got infected. no signs now after 3 weeks

any info?
